People buy people, not products. That’s why your story isn’t just a “nice to have”; it’s the heartbeat of your visibility strategy.

Today you’ll learn the art and strategy of storytelling, how to share your truth in a way that connects, inspires, and builds trust on Instagram. I even take you behind the scenes of my own story—my life as an actual showgirl (yes, with feathers and rhinestones!) — and what it taught me about visibility, perfectionism, and finding confidence in authenticity.

If you’ve ever wondered how to share stories that truly connect with your audience, not just sell to them, this episode is your guide.

 [14:39] How to use AI and the CRIT Framework to craft emotional, relatable stories
 [16:05] This week’s Emotional Storytelling Challenge—share one story that connects
 [17:33] How to tag me in your storytelling post so I can cheer you on

This Week’s Challenge

I’m calling this the Emotional Storytelling Challenge.

Create one piece of content. A Reel, carousel, or post, where your only goal is connection. Don’t try to sell or promote. Just share a real piece of who you are or why you do this work. Then tag me @elizabethmarberry. I’d love to see it and cheer you on.
